RIPE DNS Enthusiasts, FOSDEM is the Free and Open Source Developers European Meeting. If you are involved in any way with open source software and can get the weekend free, it is very cool. This year we will have a DNS devroom. Read on... [ The text below has also been posted at: https://blog.powerdns.com/2017/11/20/fosdem-2018-dns-devroom-cfp/ If anything changes, we'll update that post, so please check there if you have questions. Also, our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CfP via different mailing lists. ] After two successful BoF sessions at FOSDEM 2016 and 2017, FOSDEM 2018 will see a real DNS devroom! We hope to host talks anywhere from hardcore protocol stuff, to practical sessions for programmers that are not directly involved with DNS but may have to deal with DNS in their day to day coding, or system administrators responsible for DNS infrastructure. We have been allotted half a day on Sunday 4 February 2018. We expect to schedule 30 minutes per talk, including questions, but this is open to discussion. If you have something you'd like to share with your fellow developers, please head to pentabarf at: https://penta.fosdem.org/submission/FOSDEM18 Examples of topics are measuring, monitoring, DNS libraries, and anecdotes on how you've (ab)used the DNS. The deadline for submission is December 8th. If you have a FOSDEM pentabarf account from a previous year, please use that account. Reach out to dns-devroom-manager@fosdem.org if you run into any trouble. We are also looking for volunteers to help with cameras etc. Please drop us an email at dns-devroom-manager@fosdem.org if you're interested in helping out. See you there! Cheers, Peter van Dijk, Shane Kerr, Pieter Lexis
